An electrosurgical device which consists of a handpiece with mechanical and/or electrical controls, and a monopolar electrode, intended to deliver electrosurgical current from a system generator directly to tissues for cutting/coagulation/ablation during endoscopic (including laparoscopic, arthroscopic) surgery. It includes a long thin electrode connected to the handpiece, and may include a lumen for suction/irrigation; it is available in a variety of forms (e.g., forceps or snare with ring handles, rigid probe with controls) and requires a patient contact return electrode to complete the circuit. This is a reusable device.
